Rock Cats extend B-Mets losing slide

Brad Boyer ignited the Rock Cats offense, going 3-for-4 with two RBI, and Eddie Rosario went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run. Boyer’s two-run triple in the seventh inning broke a tie and gave the Rock Cats their eventual margin of victory.

B-Mets reliever Jack Leathersich gave up two runs on four hits in 2 1/3 innings. Both of the runs he allowed came with two outs and two strikes against Boyer. Starter Greg Peavey allowed four runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.

No B-Mets hitter had more than one hit, and Jayce Boyd hit his third home run of the season in the second inning. Kyle Johnson had an RBI triple, and Travis Taijeron hit an RBI double.

The B-Mets will try to avoid a three-game sweep on Sunday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 on Sunday.
